PDF to Excel convertor

I need to covert some PDF files to Excel at work. We have a managed IT system and it only includes Adobe Reader. I can't get internet access on a stand alone PC and won't be able to access any of the free convertors.
I am considering buying Adobe Acrobat version 9 Standard or Pro or
perhaps, Nitro or any other software which would be best?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I need to convert about 2 files each day.

Thanks

    www.pdftoexcelonline.com -online conversion and it's free

    I have never used it so cannot verify it's accuracy, it was recommended by a computer magazine.

    Have you tried copying and pasting into an Excel sheet?

    Might be a problem as he needs it for work and I don't know whether his employer likes the idea him uploading documents somewhere.
  • Copy the pdf file and paste it in excel it should work.
  • If the pdf has been created from a scanner then I don't think you will be able to either copy and paste or convert from pdf to Excel using Adobe Acrobat professional. If the pdf was converted directly from Excel to pdf you have the possibility to reverse the process, but if it is a scanned document then you probably won't be able to.

    Able2extract Pro will do it nicely but it is not free.............
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????
